The European Parliament adopted a resolution that calls for a stronger, more independent EU defence system, higher spending and better technology, closer cooperation with NATO and other allies, support for Ukraine, and a comprehensive plan to counter hybrid threats and protect critical infrastructure.

The 2026 European Parliament resolution reviews the EU’s foreign and security actions in 2025, sets new priorities, and urges stronger defense, more help for Ukraine, protection of human rights, and faster, clearer EU decision‑making.

The resolution aims to increase funding for humanitarian aid, especially for women and children, and supports international cooperation to address the needs of 305 million people requiring urgent assistance.

The EU’s resolution condemns Belarus’s drone, balloon, cyber, and fake‑news attacks on Lithuania, demands they stop, offers military support, imposes new sanctions, and calls for stronger border and intelligence cooperation to protect all member states.

The resolution says abortion is a basic right, pushes the EU to provide funding for countries where it’s hard to get, adds it to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and calls for easier cross‑border care and a crackdown on anti‑women‑rights movements.
